Nice advertisement. The nazi have killed over 200 members of the citroen family, only because they where jewish - so congrats to citroen for this nice advertisement.
The translation is absolutely wrong! The parts that i did understand are meaning this: "That's my first advertisement i'm playing in [...] brass music [...] like it is usual in germany [...] what would i say?"
I didn't understand everything because the original voice disappears completely behind the voice of the english speaker. But what i heard was enough that i can say that the translation is definitely wrong!
.. and apart from that, it's not a Tuba but an E flat Baritone Horn aka "Bariton" in German, like a tenor horn but lower in pitch. You see, in advertising you should get your facts right or people won't believe the good things about a product, or will they :-)

how do you know? you can't even hear what he says most the time. I know a bit of German, and it is relatively close on the parts you can actually hear
"relatively close",but not the same.what i can understand is, that that man is telling about,that it is his first spot and that they are playing typical german music.What the speaker says is,that its his most favourite thing to play the tuba and his band sounds stupid between a citroen c5-man i cant believe that that guy really saied that.he is just telling a little bit about what he is doing there.
there are no exact literal translations from another language, never... from any language. It is as close as realistic. And the guy is an actor, he is getting paid to say exactly what they wanted, and so is the translator.
P.S. you do realize you just said what the translator said, in different words.
Why would you think that the translation actually coincides with what the man said?

What do germans have in common with nazis? Surly Hitler was German. But thats a long way back in History.
Today Germany is one of the most Israel-frindly people. The real anti-israeli people in Germany are Arabs that are living in Germany.
In France fore example are living more Arabs then in Germany. And there are more anti-Israeli-people.
